An Attempt, which Luckily Failed, tGe
Blow Up the Chicago Criminal Court
with n Dynamite Isomb. "'
CHICAGO, Ju,y "A dynamite bomb,
fully charged, and with tho fuse burned
to within quarter OF an inch of tho she'll
was found under Judge Bakers desk in
the Criminal Court last Tuesday evening.
Court officials and all the authorities
about the court building are oewildered
at the thought Of what diabolical v,llainy
was contemplated by the man who placed
the murderous machine where it was
found. The matter has been kept quiet
for purposes of investigation. Judge
Baker presides in the room where the an
archists were tried ana condemned. He
said to a reporter yesterdays
II was swinging around in my chair
when, all at once, saw at the corner Of
my desk what thought was a baseball
After giving it kick, and seeing it roll
about in an odd fashion, picked it up
At once Isaw was mistaken and that it
was not a baseball. l handed it &c
Bailih Ryce, and, after one look at 1t, he
exclaimed, Heavens, thaVs q bomb"
Judge Barker declared that he had nc
idea where the bomb came from, nor
could he divine any reason why it should
have been placed under his desk, 81
know it wasn't intended for me-" he said,
ait couldn't have been"
The bomb is made of block tin aud glass
and resembles bran new base ball, but
is much lighter. On one side OF II there
is a stout rubber band which protects an
opening, out of which projects small
piece OF fuse. 10 contained a substance
resembling damp gray sand, which IS I'M
questionably dynamite. It IS the same
kind Of missile that was used at the Hay.
market riot, but is much lighter than tho
lead bombs Lingg manufactured.
The court officials believe it was intend
ed to destroy by dynamite the main court
room aud those who happened to ben i
at the time.

New YORK July 2.-Despite the Excess
sive heat International Hall was packed
last night with former pensioners Of
DR.. McGlynn. The expected excommuni-
cation of the priest was dwelt upon by
all the speakers John j. Feeny presided
and Henry George, Ir. spoke for few
minutes. James j. Graham, editor of the
Catholic LerdG was the principal speaker.
His remarks were enthusiastically
applauded. He said that thousands OF
Catholics were willing to be excommuni-
Gated alsoif a belief in the land for the
people warranted accommodation. The
accommodation paper, he said. would
not be worth the paper it was written on.
Those who were at present operat-
ing the ecclesiastical machine knew
about as much about how to use it as an
organ grinder knows about playing "St
Patrick's Day in the Morning. If the &C.
clesiastical machine fred its charge, he
said they would stand as General Jack
son did, intrenched behind true Amerl-
can citizenship, q barricade through which
no ecclesiastical bullet could penetrate.

The Minstrel Bows.

On Saturday evening the Honolulu ANA,
teur Minstrel Troupe was greeted with
crowded house, and right well did the boys
acquit themselves. 1t is impossible to make
exceptions where ali did so we'll. The lend
men" were particularly witty, and the jokes
were fresh and had local application, which
invariably brought down the house. The
different numbers were well rendered, many
of which were vigorously encored and re-
sponded to. The Hawaiian chorus pleased
all, and more was asked for. The first part
ended with the humorous drill of "The
Skids,' by g picked squad, in which the
Captain handled his men with all the gravity
of veteran, and convulsed the house with
laughter.
Part II commenced with character
sketch by Macfarlane and Armstrong. Mr..
Appleby favored the audience with an excel
lent banjo solo, but the gods in the gallery
would not let up on him, and he was COM
PEELED to appear several times before they
were satisfied. The grand Japanese Bamboo
and Armstrong, who retired from the field
with all the applause the house could raise
for them. "The Slippery Day" farce, with
recent local hits, was mirthful in the eI-
treme, and put the audience in the best of
humor. A new act not down on the bills,
and for which the audience was not pre-
pared, was the burlesque of the scenes en-
acted at the Kapiolani Bath House. 1t is
impossible to correctly outline this side-split-
ting burlesque, in which all filled their parts
to perfection. Marshal Kaulukou was taken
off to the letter, so were the Deputy Attorney
General and "Holy Moses" The whole was
successfully carried out, and sent the large
audience to their homes in the best of humor.

Emperor William.

Tuesday last was noted here as the nine
tieth birthday of Emperor William of Ger
many, and was Loyalty celebrated by the
German residents in this city, fhile other
nationalities we're profuse in their congratu-
lations to the venerable ruler. The Govern
ment and Consular flags we're all floating in
the breeze, and the shipping in the harbor
also displayed their colors-notably the Ger
man barks G. r. Bishop and Hydra were
decorated from truck to kelson.
At noon the shore battery fired salute IN
honor of the occasion. The Hawaiian Band
played the German national anthem and
other popular airs, in front of the German
Consulate, while Mr.. h. F. Glade, assisted
by Mr.. h. w. Schmidt, received the diploma
tic and Consular Corps and others, who ten
dered their congratulations on the occasion.
An elegant lunch awaited all who wished to
partake, at which the health of the venerable
Kaiser was toasted with the wish that he
would score one hundred years.
In the evening banquet was given by the
German citizens at the British Club, which
was largely attended, and the festivities pro-
longed to late hour.

Body Pound,

The body of native man was found near
the cattle-pen in the harbor about noon on
Saturday. The body was considerably dis
figured, and decomposition had set in. The
Marshal ordered the body to be placed in a
coffin, and summoned DR.. Trousseau, who
examined the body, and finding no marks of
violence, gave it as his opinion that the man
met his death by drowning. On receiving
the above information. the Marshal did not
deem an inquest necessary. Onthe arm was
the name :" Izai," tattooed, and also that of
his brother, Hulu," who resides at La
haina. BY these marks the deceased was
recognized as the mate of the schooner Wal
lele, and had been missing since Friday.
In his pockets were found a knife, hand
kerchief and 81 60. At o'clock the re-
mains were brought from the cattle wharf
to the shore, and subsequently inferred in
Makiki Cemetery. Messrs. A. F. Cooke d
Co. betrayed the burial expenses, as the de-
ceased was last in their employ.

Giant Powder Again.

On Thursday a native man at Waislua,
Oahu, while fishing by means of giant pow
der had one of his hands severely shattered
by premature explosion of the cartridge.
The wound was bandaged. and the man i'm
mediately started for Honolulu, arriving
here Friday morning, going direct to the
Queens Hospital. DR.. McKibbin, after care
full examination decided that amputation
Tas necessary, and in the afternoon the
operation was accomplished. The man
ton. and is getting along encoulaeingly.
There is an Act on the Statute books pro-
hlbiting the use by any one of this dangerous
explosive in taking fsh-why is it not en-
forced? Then we should hear less of these
sad accidents by careless or inexperienced
natives.
